Now that Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that development on the next Grand Theft Auto game is "well underway", it was bound to trigger a deluge of new leaks and speculation - not that the community needed nudging in that regard. True enough, we already have a new bit of insider info claiming that the game won't be called GTA 6 at all.

This information comes from the same leaker who previously implied on Twitter that GTA 5 Expanded and Enhanced would be facing further delays due to troubled development and a change in scope that the developers were not entirely prepared for. However, Rockstar Games has since confirmed the March 15 release date, so take all of this with a grain of salt.

While GTA 5 may have been the latest (new) release, there are far more than 5 games in the series - in fact, some of the best known entries like San Andreas and Vice City are not numbered titles. There are some slightly less popular spin offs as well, like Liberty City Stories.

Point is, it is not unusual for unnumbered GTA games to be released, and sprinkled in between "mainline" releases. This makes the proposal that "the next game in the GTA series", as Rockstar put it, won't be called GTA 6 at all quite plausible.
